[LARTC] Patch accurate packet scheduling for ATM/ADSL

[Edouard Thuleau]

Hi,

I use the patch
(http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/tc/tc-atm/) for accurate
the packet scheduling on ATM/ADSL link and i think I've found a bug.
I tried to write to the author but he didn't answer me.

I work on a Linux 2.6.17 with the iproute2-2.6.18-061002 package.
I change the type of the cell_align char to short of the struct
tc_ratespec in the file pkt_sched.h (in the include/linux/ directories
of iproute package and the kernel source) :

struct tc_ratespec
{
	unsigned char	cell_log;
	unsigned char	__reserved;
	unsigned short	feature;	/* Always 0 in pre-atm patch kernels */
-	char		cell_align;	/* Always 0 in pre-atm patch kernels */
-	unsigned char	__unused;
+     short		cell_align;	/* Always 0 in pre-atm patch kernels */
	unsigned short	mpu;
	__u32		rate;
};

The results are much better and with my tests, it works very nicely.

If it can help someone,
Edouard.
